The Berkeley City Council late Tuesday voted unanimously to require retailers to warn customers of possible radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones.
The so-called "right to know ordinance" is expected to be challenged by a lawsuit from the cell phone industry.
EllieMarks with the CaliforniaBrain TumorAssociation wants everyone to think about where they hold their cell phone.
Marks, who believes a cell phone caused her husband to have a brain tumor, has spent years fight for cell phone radiation "right to know" legislation.
"Telling people phones should not be held to the body," Marks said. "If they do hold them up to their body they are exceeding federal exposure limits."
Harvard LawProfessorLawrence Lessig is promising to defend the City of Berkeley free of charge if the cell phone industry files a lawsuit.
"I do think cities should be in a position to make sure citizens know about safety standards in place and make their own choice," Lessig said.
Berkeley's "right to know ordinance" is expected to pass a required second reading.
If the legislation survives an expected legal challenge, Berkeley will be the first city in the nation to require the warning.

Mobile phone

A mobile phone is a telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Most modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and therefore mobile telephones are often also called cellular telephones or cell phones. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones support a variety of other services, such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming, and photography. Mobile phones which offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Telephone

A telephone, or phone, is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a conversation when they are too far apart to be heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and most efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals suitable for transmission via cables or other transmission media over long distances, and replays such signals simultaneously in audible form to its user.

In 1876, Scottish emigrant Alexander Graham Bell was the first to be granted a United States patent for a device that produced clearly intelligible replication of the human voice. This instrument was further developed by many others. The telephone was the first device in history that enabled people to talk directly with each other across large distances. Telephones rapidly became indispensable to businesses, government, and households, and are today some of the most widely used small appliances.

Maintenance, repair, and operations

Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) or maintenance, repair, and overhaul involves fixing any sort of mechanical, plumbing or electricaldevice should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled, or casualty maintenance). It also includes performing routine actions which keep the device in working order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive maintenance). MRO may be defined as, "All actions which have the objective of retaining or restoring an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required function. The actions include the combination of all technical and corresponding administrative, managerial, and supervision actions."

MRO operations can be categorised by whether the product remains the property of the customer, i.e. a service is being offered, or whether the product is bought by the reprocessing organisation and sold to any customer wishing to make the purchase (Guadette, 2002). In the former case it may be a backshop operation within a larger organization or smaller operation.

Berkeley Unanimously Passes Cell Phone Radiation Warning May 2015

The Berkeley city council unanimously passed the only cell phone “right to know” ordinance in the country. The Law if it goes into effect will require that retailers display at the time of sale a warning that “If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is on and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to radio frequency radiation.” Critics say the warning does not go far enough to alert consumers of the potential health risks of cell phones. To avoid the fate that fell upon a similar law in San Fransisco the word choice has been limited to what the city believes it will be able to win in court. Pacifica's Mike Kohn reports.

Turning a cell phone into a microscope

Cell phone + Microscope = CellScope. Graduate students in the bioengineering lab at UC Berkeley have discovered a way to turn an ordinary cellphone in a microscope. The Cellscope can capture, organize and transmit images of blood cells, lesions and infections taken anywhere in world - a great advance for the developing world and medical imaging.

http://www.rfsafe.com/cellphone-radiation-right-to-know-ordinance-unanimously-passes-in-berkeley-ca/ The city council in Berkeley, Calif. voted unanimously 9-0 to require cell phone retailers to warn customers of possible cell phone radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones. Cell phones will now come with a warning notice explaining the dangers of high radio frequency (RF) exposure. Berkeley is the first city in the nation to pass a cellphone radiation ordinance since San Francisco disbanded a similar ordinance after a two-year court battle with the CTIA.

Berkeley Unanimously Passes Cell Phone Radiation Warning May 2015

The Berkeley city council unanimously passed the only cell phone “right to know” ordinance in the country. The Law if it goes into effect will require that retailers display at the time of sale a warning that “If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is on and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to radio frequency radiation.” Critics say the warning does not go far enough to alert consumers of the potential health risks of cell phones. To avoid the fate that fell upon a similar law in San Fransisco the word choice has been limited to what the city believes it will be able to win in court. Pacifica's Mike Kohn reports.

The BerkeleyCity Council late Tuesday voted unanimously to require retailers to warn customers of possible radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones.
http://www.rfsafe.com/cellphone-radiation-right-to-know-ordinance-unanimously-passes-in-berkeley-ca/
The Berkeley City Council late Tuesday voted unanimously to require retailers to warn customers of possible radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones.
The so-called "right to know ordinance" is expected to be challenged by a lawsuit from the cell phone industry.
EllieMarks with the CaliforniaBrain TumorAssociation wants everyone to think about where they hold their cell phone.
Marks, who believes a cell phone caused her husband to have a brain tumor, has spent years fight for cell phone radiation "right to know" legislation.
"Telling people phones should not be held to the body," Marks said. "If they do hold them up to their body they are exceeding federal exposure limits."
Harvard LawProfessorLawrence Lessig is promising to defend the City of Berkeley free of charge if the cell phone industry files a lawsuit.
"I do think cities should be in a position to make sure citizens know about safety standards in place and make their own choice," Lessig said.
Berkeley's "right to know ordinance" is expected to pass a required second reading.
If the legislation survives an expected legal challenge, Berkeley will be the first city in the nation to require the warning.

Berkeley, California, is in a battle over what it can say about cell phones and cancer risk. An ordinance set to begin next month requires cell phone retailers to post a warning about potential radiation danger, but a lawsuit put the measure on hold. A wireless trade group says it violates businesses' First Amendment rights, forcing them to share false information. New York Times science columnist John Tierney joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the controversy.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to put down your phone? There are hidden psychological effects that smartphones are having on our brains. Studies show that smartphone users are developing serious problems, like real addictions, and losing the ability to focus. Mobile technology isn’t going anywhere, so we must become aware of these effects so we can better use technology- instead of letting it use us.
Jeff Butler holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley and has studied psychology for almost a decade. After working as a Software Engineer, Jeff turned his focused towards his true passion- psychology. He has started several companies since, and his most recent company Tek Life Mastery, helps professionals conquer tech distraction to get more done in less time. He speaks at various clubs, colleges, and corporations regarding tech distraction.
Aside from working on his companies, his primary aim in life is to show people how to live more fulfilling lives whether that’s from helping them find their purpose in life or inspiring them to new levels of achievement.

The Berkeley city council unanimously passed the only cell phone “right to know” ordinance in the country. The Law if it goes into effect will require that retailers display at the time of sale a warning that “If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is on and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to radio frequency radiation.” Critics say the warning does not go far enough to alert consumers of the potential health risks of cell phones. To avoid the fate that fell upon a similar law in San Fransisco the word choice has been limited to what the city believes it will be able to win in court. Pacifica's Mike Kohn reports.

Vibration Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Networks
This is an i4Energy Seminar
Speaker: LindsayMiller, UC BerkeleySponsors: CITRIS (Ctr for InfoTechnologyResearch in the Interest of Society), i4Energy CenterWireless sensor networks have huge potential to improve efficiency and quality of manufacturing operations, enable smart grid applications, and enable demand response/smart buildings, among other exciting applications. Ubiquitous sensor networks would allow two-way communication, real-time remote monitoring, and rapid response to changing conditions. Consider the difference between landline telephones and smart phones to imagine how wireless sensing networks might transform infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing. However, current wireless sensor nodes are expensive to maintain as batteries die and need to be replaced, and the nodes are often very difficult to install. Energy harvesting has the potential to resolve these issues and enable a stick-on, set it and forget it type of node.
This talk will highlight the different types of energy harvesting research going on in our group, giving a brief overview of how each technology works and when it might be used. I will then focus in on piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting, which is the subject of my research. I will discuss experimental results of a MEMS harvester tested on machinery, optimization of the harvester, and integration of the energy harvester with energy storage. Finally, I will present a novel resonator design that is able to passively self-tune its frequency to match the input vibration.

Usher: Enabling QualityDataCollection on Mobile PhonesKuangChen, Ph.DStudent, EECS, UC BerkeleyAbstract: Recently, the Director General of the World Health Organization likened the lack of quality health information in low income countries to a "gathering storm", saying, "to make people count, we first need to be able to count." All over the world, the pervasiveness of cellular networks is enabling mobile-based data collection. Community health workers armed with commodity phones are starting to visit the most rural and isolated places to promote health and gather data in mobile forms. Among their challenges, data quality ranks high: a recent study found that mobile-based data quality was ten-times worse than dictation to a human operator. In this talk, we will present an overview of Usher, a system to address this challenge.
Usher automates form design, filling, and data quality assurance for mobile phones and other non-traditional data entry settings. Rather than relying on domain experts, Usher learns a probabilistic model over form questions using existing form data. Usher then applies this model at every step of the data entry process to ensure high quality. Before entry, it induces a form layout that captures the most important data values of a form instance as quickly as possible. During entry, it dynamically adapts the form to the values being entered, and provides real-time feedback to guide the data enterer toward more likely values, and to avoid errors. After entry, it re-asks questions that it deems likely to have been entered incorrectly. We evaluated Usher using two real-world data sets. Results demonstrate that each component has the potential to improve data quality considerably, and at a reduced cost when compared to current practice.

BeyondMarket Prices: Improving the Productivity and Profitability of Small FarmersTapan Parikh, Asst Professor, School of Information, UC Berkeley
Abstract: Improving the productivity and profitability of smallholders farmers is the main pathway for economic development of many of the world's poorer countries. It has been noted that improved access to timely and relevant knowledge and information could significantly improve the economic opportunities available to such farmers. However, most research to date has focused on providing and studying the impact of only one kind of information - market prices. While clearly important, this ignores many other kinds of information relevant to small farmers, especially when institutional, infrastructural and knowledge limitations reduce small farmers' capacity to capitalize market information. In this talk, I describe two systems that address other information limitations faced by small farmers, and the institutions that serve them. The first system, Avaaj Otalo, allows small farmers in Gujarat, India to access timely and relevant agricultural advice via a voice-based service accessed via a conventional phone line. In the first three months of a pilot evaluation, with access provided to fifty incoming phone numbers, the system has received an average of 3500 calls per month. The second system, DigitalICS, allows an organic, fair trade coffee cooperative in Oaxaca, Mexico to monitor quality and certification requirements for each of its members, and to be more responsive to the issues they face. Field inspectors document growing condictions, and capture the questions and comments of farmers using a mobile phone-based data collection application. In a six-month trial deployment, the system has significantly reduced data collection and processing time, demonstrating the potential to save the cooperative approximately $10,000 a year in labor costs, while providing the cooperative with richer data about its members as an added benefit.

The BerkeleyCity Council late Tuesday voted unanimously to require retailers to warn customers of possible radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones.
http://www.rfsafe.com/cellphone-radiation-right-to-know-ordinance-unanimously-passes-in-berkeley-ca/
The Berkeley City Council late Tuesday voted unanimously to require retailers to warn customers of possible radiation exposure when purchasing cell phones.
The so-called "right to know ordinance" is expected to be challenged by a lawsuit from the cell phone industry.
EllieMarks with the CaliforniaBrain TumorAssociation wants everyone to think about where they hold their cell phone.
Marks, who believes a cell phone caused her husband to have a brain tumor, has spent years fight for cell phone radiation "right to know" legislation.
"Telling people phones should not be held to the body," Marks said. "If they do hold them up to their body they are exceeding federal exposure limits."
Harvard LawProfessorLawrence Lessig is promising to defend the City of Berkeley free of charge if the cell phone industry files a lawsuit.
"I do think cities should be in a position to make sure citizens know about safety standards in place and make their own choice," Lessig said.
Berkeley's "right to know ordinance" is expected to pass a required second reading.
If the legislation survives an expected legal challenge, Berkeley will be the first city in the nation to require the warning.

Berkeley sued over mandatory cellphone radiation warning

Berkeley, California, is in a battle over what it can say about cell phones and cancer risk. An ordinance set to begin next month requires cell phone retailers to post a warning about potential radiation danger, but a lawsuit put the measure on hold. A wireless trade group says it violates businesses' First Amendment rights, forcing them to share false information. New York Times science columnist John Tierney joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the controversy.

How Smartphones Change The Way You Think | Jeff Butler | TEDxHilliard

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to put down your phone? There are hidden psychological effects that smartphones are having on our brains. Studies show that smartphone users are developing serious problems, like real addictions, and losing the ability to focus. Mobile technology isn’t going anywhere, so we must become aware of these effects so we can better use technology- instead of letting it use us.
Jeff Butler holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley and has studied psychology for almost a decade. After working as a Software Engineer, Jeff turned his focused towards his true passion- psychology. He has started several companies since, and his most recent company Tek Life Mastery, helps professionals conquer tech distraction to get more done in less time. He speaks at various clubs, colleges, and corporations regarding tech distraction.
Aside from working on his companies, his primary aim in life is to show people how to live more fulfilling lives whether that’s from helping them find their purpose in life or inspiring them to new levels of achievement.
